#Russian sensors that may have been attempting to spy on #UK nuclear submarines were discovered by the military in the seas around #Britain - #The_Times.

One of #UK's four Vanguard submarines that carry nuclear missiles is always at sea acting as a continuous at-sea deterrent.

#The_Times' investigation exposed 'how #Russia is using its unrivalled underwater warfare capabilities to map, hack, and potentially sabotage critical #British infrastructure, "the media wrote.

Swings and roundabouts. So long as British buyers stop buying #tesla #Ford and #gm there’ll be enough #british buyers to soften the blow. Imagine living in the #usa and having to drive an #American car! At least the rest of the world will still have a choice. #trump #usa #uk #EU #Tariff bbc.com/news/articles/cj0zr0p7

It's weird what grabs the attention and what doesn't.

I was looking up some UK #statistics and it looks like the most dangerous thing our sons do is drive a car.

Over 78% of all car fatalities are male and that's even higher in the younger groups.

Strangely, that's not why men's insurance is higher. That's mostly because men are more likely to make a claim.

Apparently women cause more accidents per capita in the #USA, which is a very odd geographical difference if you ask me.

These are the kinds of discrepancies that make me suspicious of #social #research

Someone must be getting this wrong, surely. #american #women can't be worse #drivers than their #British counterparts, can they?

'Donald #Trump suggested that the #US could join the #British #Commonwealth on Friday in a post to #TruthSocial, his #socialMedia platform.

The president shared an article from British #tabloid #TheSun reporting that #KingCharlesIII was making a "secret offer" to the #WhiteHouse, and that plans are in process for the #USA to become an associate member of the international organization.

"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report'

Probably one of the most amazing wildlife clips you’ll ever see, and it never grows old. The unbelievable Lyre Bird. Anyone who underestimates animals should check this out.
If you haven’t seen the clip, make sure you do, and stick with it until the end. It’s brilliant and well worth it!

The events of the last ten years, in #UK and #US politics in particular, but also in #China and #India and #Turkey and throughout #Europe have seriously undermined my faith in #Democracy.

Except that is hasn't. The US interpretation of democracy has somehow become a gold standard. It's now clear that it's broken. But there are other ways of doing democracy. I'm #British, we're a constitutional monarchy, our governance structure is very different to the US, but their influence has poisoned and corrupted our politics because they're seen as something to aspire to. Or they were.
